...Watching Wildlife through the Window
Basically a list of all the wildlife I can see from the window of a house in a suburban caldesac in Aberdeen about 200 metres away from woodland and 250 metres away from farmland and grassland with coniferous plantation. However I can't see any wildlife in the woods from my window so nothing fancy.

My neighbour had a Grey Squirrel in her garden eying up my bird feeder as well but I never seen it as I was out. Funny thing about the hedgehogs was that I was wanting to add a hedgehog to my mammals list, never seen one you see and they're supposedly in the area, then as I prepare to go to the woods that I mentioned in my waterproofs and with a torch I leave the house and there's two of them in the garden! It was a pretty freaky thing, not the hedgehogs but the coincedence....
You probably noticed I listed the Invertebrates too, every living thing in my garden in carefully recorded...
